Pooing on the floor

Becky

Hi  

Mu daughter is 3 and a half years old and waiting her assessment. 

Through the day she is completely clean and toilet trained. On a night once shes in her room she wees and poos in the carpet in her bedroom and often picks it up or rubs it into the carpet. 

Any ideas of what I can do to break the cycle of her doing this on an evening?? 

Thank you.

    Shes compelty potty trained so unsure why she does it on an evening. 

    I have been telling her off but after reading on a few websites not to do so because it could negatively reinforce her behaviour tonight I have not shouted and just calmly said it's not acceptable and cleaned her up. Hopefully this helps her not gain the attention she wants

    When my daughter was struggling with potty training my Mum found some leaflets from this charity at her school. https://www.eric.org.uk not sure if they can help? With my daughter it was a case of learning to recognise the sensation of needing go with plenty of time to get to the toilet or potty. Which is a bit harder in bed because gravity takes over when you stand up! Also how do you react to her doing it? Is it possible she’s enjoying being told off for it (if you are) or seeing it as a way to get you into her room at night instead of crying for you?
